Another case to ponder ... We're handling the incoming I/Q data stream, but need to fan that out to many downstream consumers. If we already read the data into a page, then flip it to the first consumer, is there a benefit to adding a reference counter to that read-only page and leaving the page live until the counter expires?
Hiro clamours for benchmarks. I agree. Some basic searches I've done don't show anyone trying this out with P9 (and publishing their results). Anybody have hints/references to prior work? --lyndon
